I Me Mine

George Harrison

Binding: Light and dark brown leathers, and light and dark green, black and a small variety of other colours

Box: Buckram slipcase

The first of many collaborations with George Harrison,this was the book that changed our direction from publishing voyages
of exploration to rock ’n’ roll. Every one was a highly pleasurable experience. George was
a wonderful human being and a great friend to Genesis Publications, and is
missed enormously.

I ME MINE was
published in 1980, the culmination of several years work. It contains 83 of
George's song lyrics printed in superb facsimile with the story behind each one
in the composer's words. Printed in 28 special colours by Kingprint of Richmond,
sadly no longer in business. George visited Kingprint to view the first sheets
coming off the press. Muffled screams could be heard from the bindery girls as
his Porsche drew into the carpark. One of the workers had a small kestrel which
perched calmly on George's outstretched hand for several minutes as he stood
beside the printing press.
